*DC: The Riddler made just two appearances in Detective Comics in 1948, before returning to plague the Dynamic Duo in the Silver Age in Batman #171 in 1965 and staying pretty much a constant thorn in Batman’s side ever since. Interest has now built to a frenzy since the announcement of the Riddler’s appearance in the upcoming Batman movie, so what better time to invest in this lovely copy of his Silver Age debut? A pence stamped copy, with vivid rich colour and brilliant gloss, and a superb Carmine Infantino cover illustration. Tight and flat with excellent staples, off white pages with just a hint of tan at the edges. Wear is at a minimum, with just some minor stress marks at spine, minor handling wear at right edge and tiny marks of discolouration to the right of the DC logo (and we do mean tiny). Personally, I don’t think Batman’s classic foes have ever looked better than on covers from this classic period.
